Right now I'm revamping the way I implemented this xine player by 
creating it as a new plugin type.  At the same time I'm putting in a 
real internal player.  This way folks can use which ever one works for 
them and we can work on fixing the internal player to properly handle 
some of the other formats.  I've got a handful of files it will not 
play, including two DVD rips, so when I have time I'll look into them.
